hehe not me i think your talking about '4door sleeper'

what im going to do is call MV auto in adelaide, get them to send me out the necessary shift kit etc and then see if they can recommend somewhere local to install it for me.

from what i know they dont need to remove the autobox to install a shift kit, so all up including the shift kit it shouldnt cost more than about $450 (more if u want full synthetic fluid which ill be doing)

Ah sorry knore, me bad.

It seams there are a few ppl interested in this, it might be worth to try and organise a group buy?

I didn't know there was no need to get the box out to install the shift kit. What else would need to be done to freshen up the gearbox?

Ahh shit I forgot to send it... The plan was to wait till I got home rather than use the work email... I'll email myself a reminder and let you know either way...

FWIW I'd be keen on a group buy... I've been putting this off for ages...

Nedb: To install the shift kit, you only need to drop the pan... It's fairly fiddly if you only have wheel ramps - 100 times easier if you can get the car up on a hoist... Would probably be worth changing the filter while your in there... If you wanted to freshen the box up further, it would need to come out and be dissassembled. From there you could replace any clutch bands and check the rest of it out...

I've been in touch with Keas and I've asked about R33's as well. I'll keep this thread informed if you all like.

So far I can tell you that:

They are working on a shift kit at the moment.

It will be ready in about a month.

I think he said that R33 and R34 boxes are the same mechanically but I'm waiting on confirmation of that. It's a JATCO RE4R01A "and is OEM on any Mazda and Nissan RWD. A variant is also in Subaru's. It replaced the earlier model 3N71B and 4N71B JATCO in 1988 and ran until 2003."

I'm just confirming that he meant to write 1988 and not 1998 because my query was initially R34 related and 1998 is when R34's came out.

Cheers for the info Abo Bob... You seem to be one step ahead of us here so by all means, please keep us informed...

I can confirm that RE4R01A was made before 1998 as my 1993 R33 has a RE4R01A... It's listed on the build plate...

And yep they were in 300zx's, Pathfinders, 929's and a few others from memory...

Did they give you any indication on pricing?

Thinking out loud here...

I was abit sceptical that the RE4R01A came in the R32, as the hold / power / od features are different to the R33... But then I thought, if the same trans is in the R34's, which have the tiptronic control, then it's probably just the auto ECU's that are different...

Can someone with an auto 32 have a look under their bonnet at the blue build plate and confirm the model of auto for us please?

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kapr · Posted

      Yeah i found that alot of parts can be wrong or "very" hard to get the real right one. I already bought some brakes years ago on me "old" GT calipers and they were wrong too 😄  I told them too. Even send them pictures...but they said "EBC catalogue has them on my car... So i dont know what their answer will be. I call monday them and let them know that they are really not on my car. If they were they would be already on a car...

      Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?

      Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.

      R34 Gtt Wheel Offset Advice

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
